Attn: R33 Gtr Owners - Full Length Cooling Panels Group Buy


Recommended Posts

Hi guys

I have sourced a full length cooling panel panel for the R33 GTR but need a donor car in Sydney to test fit before being sent out to be made in full carbon fibre. If you are in Sydney and wish to be the donor car to test fit 2 sets of panels (first will be the sample and second will be the first batch of cooling panels in carbon) please PM me, you will receive a small discount for your time and donor car.

start date: 20/1/16

end date: 20/3/16

i will give it 2 months approximately from start to finish. provided i can get the order and sample panel sent off early Feb.

Production and shipping time to me is approx 4-5 weeks. I will be using the same factory in China that i order my parts from for the group buy. I would love to support local workshops but have been quoted $650+ to get it made. (happy to receive recommendations from local sydney workshops that can do this at better price)

it will be vacuum infused and finished in glossy clear coat

approximate price in carbon fibre $400

approximate price in fibreglass $240

prices will be confirmed at end of production BUT it won't be far off the above quoted price, give or take up to $50~

this is at current exchange range (which sucks balls at 0.69 USD / $1 AUD) but still cheaper than nengun and RHD.

Shipping AUS WIDE will be $15 to metro cities and $20 to rural areas with tracking and insurance!
pick up available in Sydney.

During previous group buys, there was alot of interest requesting for the full length panel so if you're still interested, Post here.

If no interest within first 4 weeks, i will close this group buy.

Thanks

i forgot to note that the original cooling panel is from garage defend even tho they claim perfect fitment, i still want to try on a donor car to ensure that no time & monye is wasted on moulding a crap fitting panel.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
